Anyone TTC May

[FayLiv]

Hi Ladies,

I was hopeful this month but can feel signs of AF creeping up and due in a couple of days..

I'm not too distraught as we only managed it a couple of times in my fertile week so thought it may be the case this month was a no. Now I am so ready to get annoying AF out of the way and get on the May bus!

Is anyone else in the same boat and hoping next month is the one?

I am taking folic and vitamin D at the moment but I'm going to add DHA and co-q10 as well as I've heard v good things.

Good luck to those going for May... it's my birthday in May too and I've asked for a baby 😂

Hi everyone, hope you have room for another! I'm still 10/11DPO on this cycle but AF due Friday and I feel like it's coming so counting myself out for April already...feeling really disappointed after a faint but clear, with colour and everything, evap line got me excited earlier this week 🤦🏼‍♀️ BFNs since, boo. Looking for some solidarity as I gear up for TTC in May, and for support in helping me break my POAS addiction! This will be cycle 2 TTC #3, and am considering trying SMEP for the first time this month- anyone had success with this before? I'm not sure I have the energy for it 😆 huge amounts of luck to you all ladies 🍀🍀🍀

@Snowdonia you’re in same boat as me I think. My cycles vary a bit but I’m due on anytime between Tuesday and Friday next week. I’m 99% sure I’m not pregnant this month so just wish af would hurry up so I can try again x

@katewitch

Me!

We were NTNP for March and April but for various reasons weren't able to DTD at the right times anyway. This will be our first month making a conscious effort!

I have very long cycles (34-44 days) and am using soy isoflavones to promote ovulation which definitely worked last month, just not until CD 24...

Should be ovulating either the 2nd or 3rd week of May so we'll see how it goes!

What does NTNP mean? Sorry to ask I think I'm being a bit thick

Hi everyone! Hope you don’t mind me joining.

We’re onto cycle 4 of ttc #1 this month after an early miscarriage in December, I’m 27 and my husband is 28.

Last month we tried the DTD every day of my fertile window approach, it took the romance out of it completely for me, so we’ve binned the OPK’s this month and we are just aiming to DTD when we want to and hope for the best.

If that doesn’t work out we’ll jump right back into tracking in June 🤦‍♀️🤞!

... whats SMEP? 🙈 i went cold turkey on POAS, I was on opks then pregnancy tests every day from about cd7. Its addictive! X

Lovely to meet everyone and be in the same boat together! Fingers crossed for us all! X

Lovely to see so many replies and know we are all in the same boy one way or another. Lots of luck to everyone for May. I hope we can give each another some support as well as having one another to have a good old rant to!
Af due tomorrow - I'm pretty sure it's on its way I notice I get the weirdest gargling noises right before! 😂 strange..

Same boat* that should say!

CD1 for me after AF arriving today. Wishing everyone all the luck for May! Happy about a new cycle after some uncertainty and and a fresh start. 4th cycle trying for #2 💛

@FayLiv I'm also due AF tomorrow. Hoping we all get that BFP next month!

@lovelylion3 @fayeliv @rudyroo I'm cd 5 (typing this very early AM on Thursday, have become addicted to below deck on lockdown - send help 🤣)

@monkehsee NTNP = Not Trying, Not Preventing

@beckyCarlos SMEP = Sperm Meets Egg Plan

Still remember all the TTC lingo from last time 😂

Hey everyone! Another one here 🙋‍♀️ trying again after 3 chemicals this is my first ovulation after my last loss and my final try before leaving it for a little while. Starting my aspirin at 1dpo also being prescribed progesterone pessaries when I get my positive pregnancy test so hopefully that will finally work for me 🤞

AF just arrived. 🙄
CD1

Yes, 18 months TTC#2. Trying Soya Isoflavones for the second month. Hoping for a BFP!

@beckyCarlos think I really need to take the cold turkey POAS approach too, I was terrible this month!! Sperm Meets Egg Plan is basically a lot of BDing to try to make sure swimmers are fresh and lined up in the right place at the right time... I think it's every other day from cd8 (or a bit later if you ovulate later), then every day for three days after you get a peak on an OPK. Then skip a day then try one last time. I'm not sure about it but will try anything, I'm only cycle 2 but missing out this month made me realise how much I want it! X

@charlotte0808 🤞for you! Hopefully the prescription works!

@lovelylion3 i always find day 1 the worst, I try and keep positive but it always feels like such a letdown

@tothemoonandback21 thanks! Might give that a go, anything to feel like I have a bit of control over the situation haha x

Hi everyone. Long time lurker here! Hope you don’t mind me joining!
@Starfish789 I’m similar to you. 18months ttc #2. Two miscarriages. PCOS diagnosis due to irregular cycles, but none of the other standard symptoms. Waiting for Clomid treatment (delayed in our area because of Covid). Have been prescribed metformin by consultant. He also recommended vit d, vit b complex, inositol, folic acid and co q-10. So got all those on the go. And also doing soy isoflavones because at this stage I’ve nothing to lose!
🤞🏻 For lots of bfps and sticky beans for may!

Af not arrived yet. No spotting either which I've had the last couple of months before af. I tested with a cheapie Monday but couldn't see a thing. I am probably going to come on this afternoon/ tomorrow but I'm just imagining it being late and what I might call my next child 😂

I'll be ordering more opks for May by tonight probably! X

@FayLiv 😂 baby names always a nice distraction.

Why is AF always so annoyingly late when TTC and over analysing every single thing?! Hope she doesn't show for you...you never know! 🤞🏼

Well I'm feeling quite glad that at least real life is starting to resume slightly now that I'll be able to have some distractions this month other than focussing every single thought in TTC. Catching up with friends and sitting outside for BBQ's with a nice cold beer or two. Might even go wild and go inside a shop! Hope you are all staying positive ladies 💪🏼

@fayliv omg everything is crossed for you! Hopefully this is a good sign!

@rudyroo me too, we're waiting for an appointment with the fertility clinic to get checked but I could easily be psyching myself out because theres nothing else really to focus on! If I was going to the pictures or seeing friends for dinner, or even commuting, I'd have so many other distractions (or so I keep telling myself haha)

Of course

Hey all! Is alright if I pop on?

I had a miscarriage at 9ish weeks at the end of February and this was our first cycle ttc since. It's our 4th mc so a bit of a rollercoaster but fingers crossed for the next one!

I ovulated early this month so AF is due on Monday. Spotting today and BFN yesterday so pretty sure it's not going to turn into a BFP.

We've been doing SMEP plus preseed and all the old wives tales. All that has been helpful as I have gotten pregnant 4 times in 13 months just can't get a sticky one

Lol like @tothemoonandback21 said SMEP is a lot of energy though. WAY tmi but sometimes that preseed is a god send lol

@FrogsHiccups I'm in a similar boat! I'm on pregnacare conception plus vit d and extra folic acid. We're waiting for the NHS clinic but it's delayed bc of Covid

Good luck everyone xx

@angc30 what old wives tales are you going by? Ill try anything at this point 🤣x

Am I okay to jump on ladies? It’ll be cycle 2 for me as I’m expecting af shortly after loads of bfn’s 😞 hopefully this is the lucky thread we all need and have lots of BFP’s next month! 🤞🏽💗
